It’s the weekend – celebrate

I don’t know about you but this week seems like it started a month ago. I plan on making the most of my abbreviated weekend which will be cut short, because I need to fly out to the Left Coast. As a result I may be slow to respond to emails, approving comments and the like next week.

Furry Friday

Temperatures in Boston were nearly 60 degrees; that combined with a ton of rain washed away the 1″ of snowfall we got on Sunday, but I still couldn’t resist sharing this photo. Suddenly I feel like I’m channeling my inner Elsa.

Vintage gay

This week is my 150th vintage gay post. What started as an idea in 2012 after reading 100 Years of Gay Couples from the now defunct WingerJock blog, inspired me to conceive of and share my first vintage gay post.  he photo dated back to 1936 and showed two men on the beach in Provincetown. It proved to be so popular I made it a reoccurring post and 149 posts later it’s still going strong.

I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.
